A whimsical, visually ornate period comedy-drama centered on a mentor-protégé bond, layered with nostalgia for a vanished European world and tinged with melancholy awareness of historical upheaval.

The Grand Budapest Hotel tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune and the slow and then sudden upheavals that transformed Europe during the first half of the 20th century.
